About Little Bosullow

Little Bosullow is a small hamlet set within the civil parish of Madron in Cornwall’s South West. It sits quietly in the TR20 postcode district, a gentle point on the map of rural England. To the west lies Great Bosullow, while Bosullow itself fronts the B3312 — the road running between Madron and Morvah — anchoring the cluster of neighbouring places. Bosullow Common stretches to the north, completing a compact constellation of hamlets and common land. For those tracing Cornish lanes and seeking a sense of place rather than busy tourist hubs, Little Bosullow offers a succinct introduction to the parish of Madron and its immediate surroundings. Its location — close to Great Bosullow, Bosullow on the B3312, and Bosullow Common — makes it an easy waypoint for exploring this quietly distinctive corner of Cornwall.

Attractions

Mên-an-Tol

historic

Among the most enigmatic of Penwith's prehistoric monuments, the Mên-an-Tol — Cornish for 'stone of the hole' — consists of a circular holed stone flanked by two upright stones. Its purpose remains debated; local tradition held that crawling through the hole nine times could cure rickets in children. The walk across open moorland to reach it is part of the experience.
